Maybe a bit late to the party, but a quick warning for putting underglaze on the foot of your piece: it can still stick to the kiln shelf. It really depends on the underglaze you're using, as some include silica which does melt.
Yes!! I have only had this happen once with a specific orange. It's good once you get your favs and then you know which products will have their quirks. Good tip 😇 thank you!
Hii, thankyou alot!! I have a question, so i have a lot of powders and those powders are to paint porcelain. But can i use that also as a underglaze? I cant find anything about it
Great explanation, thanks so much! I'd like to ask just one more question, do you brush on the clear glaze right after the underglaze has dried or do you dip the piece in the clear glaze? I always assumed I could use underglaze before the first firing and then apply the clear glaze to the bisqued piece before the second, but you seem to do it all before the 2nd firing?🙈
Hi! You can do either 😊 I choose to do it after bisque because the piece is a bit easier to handle and I also have the option of sanding as well if I want to. Also the underglaze pencil doesn't work as well on greenware that I use in my other videos and I use that a fair bit!
Hi! I am making these personalized jewelry dishes and I had put initials on the dish using underglaze and have just bisque fired it. However I realized that I got one of the initials wrong. Now that it’s been bisque fired, is there a way to erase the incorrect initial? Can I sand it off? Please let me know!
Hi Kaitlyn!!! You should definitely sand it off but make sure you sand it wet - the dust is extremely bad for your lungs - just wet and dry sand paper should work. Go for a higher grit if you can then you can just re paint! :) goodluck!
Thank u for the info is amazing, only I have a question the glaze can be whatever brandy? Bcuz no all can bake the same temperature right? Thanks again for all the info this videos is super cool
Hi Yam, yes they can be whatever brand but you just need to check the temp on the bottle! I mix brands all the time! But they are all the same firing range :)
This is amazing , and helpful but I have a question , can I only use underglaze to paint on my mugs or I also have to use overglaze after ? If yes can I over glaze right after I underglaze the mug or should I fire it first ?
Hi! Yes you can not glaze it and it will stay on but won't be shiny! (I would only do this on the outside of objects, I have another under glaze pencil video that shows some of this) and yes you can over glaze straight away!
Hi! Yes! It can be - this is why the name is "under"glaze 😊 it's a nice alternative to having to buy lots of different glaze colours too - can just have clear with lots of different underglaze colours!
Hi Tarn! That's okay! I'll just clarify - it would need to be a translucent glaze for you to be able to see it. Any opaque glaze will still be functional and everything but of course you wound see it. In saying that you might have it only on part of it as part of the design. I only every use clear on top 😊
Hi Queen Yen! That is the correct order so yes! You can alsp paint underglaze onto bisque and then apply a layer of clear (once the ubderglaze has dried) and then glaze fire. Depends on which way you prefer!
@@hellokirby1 thank you so much for your answering back so quick😊❤ I am unsure and doubting myself all the time if I am doing it in the right order 😆🤦🏻♀️
It's really not a good idea to put underglaze on any part of your pot that will be in contact with your kiln shelf. Underglaze is not just coloured clay. Slip with added pigments is safe on the foot of pieces but underglaze is a kind of slip / glaze hybrid and therefore may well stick to your kiln shelf.
Hi! They need to be same temp - this is because your under glaze will have a burnout temp which will effect your colour - I have a video about underglaze pencil which explains this :)
is it okay to brush on clear glaze afterwards or do you need to fire the underglazed pieces first? I wanted to use Chrysanthos's underglaze on stoneware pieces but the underglaze only fire up to cone 6 (1222 Celsius) while Northcote stoneware's glaze temp is at 1280 😅
Hi Phoebe! I haven't had a go at northcote at that temp before but just to a test. And no you don't need to fire your under glaze pencil on, I have another video on underglaze pencil you might want to check out :) I would just make sure that you have lots of glaze on your brush when you put it on the under glaze pencil or dab it on so it doesn't smear everywhere :) 2nd coat you can paint on as normal!
@@hellokirby1 Thank you for replying 😊 asking help from other artist could be quite sensitive sometimes and I totally understand. I'll definitely do more testings and research. I think I was confused if I could use cone 6 underglaze on stoneware pieces, because it seems like stoneware from Northcote needs to be fired higher than cone 6.
@@phoebewu9346 Hi Phoebe! I think you will just need to have a go - my kiln I fire at cone 8 with the nps clear and my kiln says it is 1249 (but it does run hot). Imtests can be so annoying because they are time consuming 🤣 but often they are worth it! Good luck I hope it goes okay!
Hi Kirby, I don’t think i ever fire a piece in one go. So i can’t really give you any updates on that. I remember the first time bringing my ceramics to the kiln and the people at northcote pottery gave me a pretty clear explanation on how to fire a piece 😄 So now I would either paint underglaze on my leather-hard greenware then bring them to bisque fire. Or fire my bone dry greenwares into bisques, apply underglaze and glossy clear glaze on top. I usually bisque fire them first and then decorate. Although i was told that if you colour your greenware, bisque fire it, the colours would come out more vibrant. I hope I’m making sense! 😂 And apologies if my answer wasn’t clear. I don’t think i remember exactly what me problem was back then. I can’t believe i’ve been making pottery for over a year now 😮 If not for your message I wouldn’t have known, so thank you ❤️🌷
if i were to underglaze without bisque firing my pieces first, would i have to underglaze, fire, apply clear glaze, and then fire again, or can i apply underglaze on, wait for it to dry an, apply clear glaze, and only fire it in the kiln once?
Great video! Thanks! Have you looked at mother of pearl lustre? I think that's my next thing to look at. You're kiln looks new, I assume it's a fancy electronic one! I'm using an old one with a mini cone in a sitter - it's really kiln god territory, I've done some dumb stuff and thought I'd stuffed things up a few times! - In Bris here
Hi Ryan! I have used gold lustre and it turned out amazing! Pearl i think would be nice and subtle. I hope you have the gods on your side! The first kiln i used myself was my dads small kiln and it was for a lustre firing - manual with just a knob and temperature gauge that i dont think worked. Everything got over fired it was so sad! I hope you have better luck!
Hi Mouza! Just 1-2 layers of clear! But also you can Check your clear glaze label and it should say how many coats. It will only be 1 coat if you dip glaze !
Hi Emily! The yellow I use in this vid is from Design colours I believe. I have found the Amaco velvet underglaze are really nice - if you look at my website you can see a few pieces that have the amaco yellow in case you want to see what they look like fired. :)

I'm fairly new to pottery and that was the best information on underglaze I could find so far. Thank you!
Thank you Katherine, glad to be helpful!! There is a bit more info on underglaze in the under glaze pencil vid too 💞 good luck with your pottery! 😇
Very informative. Thank you for mentioning the safety precautions regarding sanding.
Thank you for your feedback 😍💕💕 yes very important! 👏👏

this is such a good video, right to the point and informative, thanks so much and cute work :))
Thanks so much Katie!!
I'm just starting to explore the underglaze.
Thank you for the video 😊❤
a trick: watch movies at Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching lots of of movies recently.
@Brentley Collin Yup, been using flixzone} for since november myself :D
Such a great explanation, especially as I have the same underglaze as you from Northcote Pottery!
Yay! I just picked up some more pink yesterday! My fav! Enjoy 💗💗
i see the pots/cups started white, is that white underglaze or is the clay white?
Do you apply the underglaze, let it dry, and then apply the clear glaze before glaze firing?
Wonderfully explained thank you

Thank you for this. Once you paint them, you put the clear glaze and then glaze fire them?
Hi Judy! Yes thats correct - 1-2 layers of clear and glaze fire :)
So I did a pinch pot and it is now dry. Can I use underglaze now then bisque it? After bisque Can I use the clear glaze then second fire?

Can you use underglaze with paint on glazes?
Hi Karina, yes you can depending on the glaze - of the glaze is opaque you won't be able to see it though! :)
I need to know: Where did you get the gold underglaze at 2:45? It's so perfect! Thank you very much!
Hi Laura! That is an overglaze - gold lustre - which you do a third firing for at cone 019 :)
Did you bisque the cups before underglaze? Can you bisque with underglaze on and then do a transparent glaze fire after? :)
Yes this will work! :)
Nice one kirbo 😎
Thank ya 😄😇
@@hellokirby1 I even hit the bell
Hello , thanks for the video
May i ask can i paint with porcelain or ceramic colors then add the clear glaze and fire ?
Yes this is what I do once i have finished painting on underglaze, cover with clear and then glaze fire. :)

Does the underglaze and glaze both have to be under same temperature template like both have to be mid fire or high fire

Please sister tell me in Hindi what is Glaze
do you apply the clear glaze before or after during the underglaze?
paint what you want to paint then put the clear glaze its the last thing you do
Hi Sara - yes what Roue has said! Clear glaze last :)

Hi Bangla! I am not quite sure what you mean here, could you rephrase this question so I can help? 🥰
can you underglaze if you single fire your pieces?
Hi Maya! Yes! You should be able to :)
good information but hard to hear with the music
Thanks Paula! I'll keep in mind for next one! I agree 😂
